Legend of Wyatt

"Beckham Ho? So that’s the venerated name of the Elder Ancestor."

While everyone’s attention was on Leilany, Wyatt Barnes felt a slight stir in his heart.

Previously, Deputy Sect Master Tahir Thomsen of the Radiant Light Sect addressed their Ta Yi Ancestor as ’Senior Beckham Ho’, and this was the first time he heard of the Ta Yi Ancestor’s name.

"Senior Beckham Ho."

Moments later, the young man and woman behind Tahir Thomsen snapped back to reality, shifted their gaze from Leilany to the Elder Ancestor, and bowed in unison.

The young man’s gaze was notably reluctant to leave Leilany.

This was because Leilany was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life.

In fact, even in his imagination, he couldn’t conceive of such a beautiful woman existing in the world...

"Deputy Sect Master Thomsen, are they your disciples?"

Beckham Ho nodded at the young pair behind Tahir Thomsen and then smiled and asked Thomsen.

"Indeed."

Tahir Thomsen nodded, then pointed to the young man and woman behind him, introducing them: "This is my second disciple, ’Kami Duran’, and this is my second disciple, ’Sofia Chapman’."

"Yes, both are quite impressive."

The Elder Ancestor nodded and said politely.

"Senior Beckham Ho, you came at the perfect time."

At this moment, Elliott Lester, a top-tier alchemist of the Rising Sun Sect, also snapped back to reality after taking his eyes off Leilany and immediately looked at the Elder Ancestor, "You are an elder of the Ta Yi Sect... This time, regarding the Ta Yi Sect’s violation of selling top-grade immortal pills ’Rowan Heaven Pills’, what is your opinion on the matter?"

As he spoke, Elliott Lester’s tone turned more interrogative.

However, even in the face of his questioning, the Elder Ancestor still didn’t spare him a glance, completely ignoring him.

"You..."

As the saying goes, even a clay figurine has three parts fire, and seeing the Elder Ancestor completely ignoring him, Elliott Lester became somewhat indignant and furious, "Beckham Ho! Don’t think ignoring me will make this issue disappear... Your Ta Yi Sect violated the rules established by the top sects of the six southeastern domains; it’s a hard fact!"

"A hard fact?"

The Elder Ancestor still didn’t acknowledge Elliott Lester, but Hunter Swayer shot him a cold glance, "Elliott Lester, before the matter is concluded, you better watch your mouth... The Ta Yi Sect’s reputation cannot be sullied by you!"

"Hmmph!"

Elliott Lester snorted coldly, "I’m just stating facts... Aren’t you saying that the top tier alchemist from your Ta Yi Sect, who can produce the Rowan Heaven Pill, is in the shop? Where is he? Call him out for us to see!"

"Alchemist Barnes has already come out, it’s just that you were blind and didn’t notice."

Hunter Swayer sneered.

"Alchemist Barnes? Already came out?"

Upon hearing Hunter Swayer’s words, Elliott Lester immediately focused his gaze on Leilany, his eyes full of disbelief, "You’re saying... she is that top tier alchemist from your Ta Yi Sect who can produce the Rowan Heaven Pill?"

Instantly, others, including Tahir Thomsen, also focused their gaze on Leilany.

This legendary beauty is said to be the top tier alchemist from the Ta Yi Sect who can create the Rowan Heaven Pill?

"Alchemist Swayer wasn’t wrong, you really are blind... He was referring to me."

Just as a crowd of onlookers outside the shop directed their gaze once again at Leilany, Wyatt Barnes, whose arm was being held by Leilany, looked calmly at Elliott Lester and said lightly.

"He was referring to me."

Upon Wyatt Barnes’ words, all the gazes that had just landed on Leilany shifted simultaneously to him.

"You?"

Hearing Wyatt Barnes, Elliott Lester abruptly turned towards him, his face darkening, then he grimly laughed, "Kid, when you came out, I used Divine Sense to examine you... Your aura has already betrayed the fact that you are not even a hundred years old!"

"A wet-behind-the-ears kid not even a hundred years old, claiming to be a top tier alchemist? Moreover, one who can produce Rowan Heaven Pills? Are you not awake yet?"

As he finished, Elliott Lester looked at Wyatt Barnes with eyes full of disdain.

"Not even a hundred years old?"

"He’s really not a hundred years old!"

...

With Elliott Lester’s words, many people’s divine senses extended, encompassing Wyatt Barnes.

Soon, they confirmed one thing:

The young man in purple standing beside the legendary beauty, favored by her, was indeed not even a hundred years old!

"What a joke! Not even a hundred years old, yet dares to falsely claim to be a top tier alchemist, much less one who can produce Rowan Heaven Pills... Is he crazy?"

"Exactly! Not even a hundred years old, lucky enough to perhaps obtain ’top-grade immortal flames’... However, possessing top-grade immortal flames does not make him a top-tier alchemist; one must also master top-tier alchemist techniques and be able to produce top-grade immortal pills to be considered such!"

"Someone not even a hundred years old, even possessing top-grade immortal flames, becoming a top tier alchemist is as hard as reaching the heavens... And he dares to claim to be one who can produce Rowan Heaven Pills?"

"To produce Rowan Heaven Pills, aside from needing the recipe, requires stringent grades of top-grade immortal flames and extremely high demands on alchemist techniques... Even for someone with top-grade immortal flames, mastering techniques for common top-grade immortal pills is difficult, let alone mastering those for Rowan Heaven Pills?"

"A fool’s dream! Simply a fool’s dream!"

"I can’t understand... how could such a legendary beauty favor a man who spews such nonsense?"

"What a beautiful flower stuck in a pile of dung!"

...

When Leilany appeared in front of everyone, arm in arm with Wyatt Barnes, most of the men present could see affection in her eyes as she looked at Wyatt, clearly showing her heart belonged to him.

And the one she belonged to was none other than Wyatt Barnes beside her.

At that moment, the crowd was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment towards Wyatt Barnes.

Now, with Elliott Lester stirring things up, everyone immediately began discussing indignantly.

In their words, Wyatt Barnes was treated as nothing more than a foolish young lad dreaming impossible dreams!

"Young brother, you must choose your words carefully."

At this moment, Tahir Thomsen also looked at Wyatt Barnes and said solemnly, "Do you realize, since you made that claim just now, we can truly consider you as the top-grade Immortal Pill alchemist of the Taiyi Immortal Sect who can refine the Rowan Heaven Pill..."

"And if you can’t refine the Rowan Heaven Pill, none of the Immortal Sects across the six southeastern regions will let you off easily!"

Towards the end, Tahir Thomsen’s tone carried a threatening note.

"What? Deputy Sect Master Thomsen, do you also not believe that I am the top-grade Immortal Pill alchemist of the Taiyi Immortal Sect who can refine the Rowan Heaven Pill?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at Tahir Thomsen, squinted his eyes, smiled lightly, and asked.

"I fear there is no one present here who thinks you are the top-grade Immortal Pill alchemist capable of refining the Rowan Heaven Pill?"

Tahir Thomsen said.

"Is that so?"

Hearing Tahir Thomsen’s words, Wyatt Barnes laughed, then looked at Leilany beside him, smiling as he asked, "Leilany, tell Deputy Sect Master Thomsen... do you believe I am capable of refining the Rowan Heaven Pill as a top-grade Immortal Pill alchemist?"

"The mere Rowan Heaven Pill... Refine it? It’s just a matter of a wave of the hand for Brother Wyatt."

Leilany responded with a smile.

From the moment she appeared until now, Leilany’s gaze had never left Wyatt Barnes.

Even when the crowd’s eyes occasionally fell on her, it never made her look away even for a moment, as if in her world, besides herself, there was only Wyatt Barnes, no third person.

"Elder Ancestor, esteemed alchemists, do you all believe I am a top-grade Immortal Pill alchemist capable of refining the Rowan Heaven Pill?"

Following this, Wyatt Barnes asked the Elder Ancestor, alchemists Hunter Swayer, Russel Yorke, and Joshua Davies.

"Of course, we believe."

The Elder Ancestor nodded.

"We believe."

"Of course."

"Yes!"

The three alchemists also spoke one after another.

Almost as soon as the three alchemists finished speaking, Wyatt Barnes turned back to Tahir Thomsen, smiled lightly, and said, "Deputy Sect Master Thomsen, you just said there’s no one present here who thinks I am a top-grade Immortal Pill alchemist capable of refining the Rowan Heaven Pill... Now, what do you have to say?"

"I..."

When Wyatt Barnes was asking the people of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, Tahir Thomsen was already at a loss for words, and now, hearing Wyatt’s words, he found himself momentarily speechless.

Because he could never have imagined:

This young man in purple clothes, not even a hundred years old, could be so shameless!

Asking the people of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, would they possibly betray him?

They’d probably be more inclined to protect him.

"Hmph!"

As Tahir Thomsen was at a loss for words, the second disciple behind him, the young man named Kami Duran, snorted coldly, glaring at Wyatt Barnes, "Kid, the people of your Taiyi Immortal Sect would naturally cover for you..."

"Just now, my master merely misspoke."

"What he meant to say was... besides the people of your Taiyi Immortal Sect, I’m afraid no one else present here would think you are a top-grade Immortal Pill alchemist capable of refining the Rowan Heaven Pill!"

By the end, Kami Duran’s gaze at Wyatt Barnes was full of disdain.

"Leilany."

Almost just as Kami Duran finished speaking, Wyatt Barnes felt the surging waves of Immortal Origin from the hand Leilany held onto.

Immediately, he gently patted the back of Leilany’s hand, transmitting sound to say, "I don’t care about their words, so why should you?"

Earlier, when a group of people mocked him, Leilany wanted to make a move, but he stopped her in time.

Now, when Leilany wanted to make a move again, he quickly stopped her once more.

He wasn’t worried that Leilany would be at a disadvantage if she acted.

With the Elder Ancestor around, he didn’t believe anyone present could harm Leilany.

He just felt it was unnecessary.

After all, he wasn’t guilty at all.
